According to my trusted court source, Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member Apollo Nida pleaded guilty today to conspiracy to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. Nida is heading back to prison.

Last month, a federal judge sentenced Nida’s female accomplice, Gayla St. Julien, to 5 years and 1 month in a federal prison.

In his court appearance today, Apollo blamed himself for his legal troubles. “It was a dumb situation I put myself in,” he said.

Apollo left prison in 2009 after serving 5 years on federal racketeering charges connected with an auto theft ring. He married local attorney Phaedra Parks, who was cast in the reality series Real Housewives of Atlanta that same year.

Nida said Phaedra’s reality show paycheck ($600,000) put pressure on him to keep up with her because she was making more money than him.

He claimed he told Phaedra that his income was derived from his legitimate debt recovery business. He claims he kept her in the dark about his illegal side hustles.

A typical narcissist, Apollo said he didn’t think about whether he was hurting anybody because he was ripping off banks and federal institutions, not individuals.

“It’s my fault at the end of the day,” he said. “I got sucked in and engulfed and lost sight of things.”

Apollo E. Nida has pleaded guilty to conspiring to commit mail, wire and bank fraud in a complex scheme spanning over four years, harming over 50 victims, and causing over $2.3 million in losses.

“This defendant participated in a sweeping fraud scheme that exploited many segments of the financial system, including phony claims submitted to federal and state agencies, loans secured by vehicles, and even basic identity theft associated with stolen checks,” said United States Attorney Sally Quillian Yates. “The extensive nature of the fraud is unfortunate and breathtaking. Prosecutions like this case help to highlight the vulnerabilities in the financial system, so that we can prevent future schemes and protect our citizens and government agencies from theft like this.”

“Nida and his conspirators were conniving and creative in their scheme to steal victims’ identities and defraud them. The United States Secret Service will continue to adapt its investigative methodologies to arrest criminals who use their technological savvy to violate unsuspecting victims such as those in this case,” said Reginald G. Moore, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Secret Service, Atlanta Field Office.

“Many everyday citizens, legitimate businesses and taxpayers have been victimized by this complicated and long running fraudulent scheme. After an intensive investigation with the cooperation of federal, state and local law enforcement, we are very pleased to at long last see this criminal brought to justice,” said John D. Sours, Administrator, Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection.

According to United States Attorney Yates, the charges and other information presented in court: Beginning in August 2009, Nida, 35, of Atlanta, Ga., and others conspired to commit mail, wire, and bank fraud. The conspirators obtained stolen checks by stealing them or buying them from other criminal associates. The stolen checks involved in the scheme included United States Treasury Checks, as well as checks stolen from the pension fund of Delta Airlines. Additionally, the conspirators obtained funds by filing fraudulent tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service and making fraudulent claims against the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and at least eleven states, all in the names of victims whose identities had been stolen.

Many of these checks were mailed to a large network of mailboxes rented by the conspirators at UPS Stores in the Northern District of Georgia and throughout the nation, for eventual forwarding to the conspirators. The conspirators also obtained fraudulent auto loans secured by vehicles that they had no ownership interest in whatsoever. To convince banks to issue these loans, Nida and his conspirators created fake documents and websites appearing to belong to legitimate auto dealerships.

Once the conspirators obtained the stolen checks, they laundered them through numerous victim financial institutions. Often, the conspirators laundered the checks by opening bank accounts in the names of the payees listed on the face of the checks. This involved impersonating each payee and stealing his or her identity. The conspirators prepared for these impersonations by researching their victims using databases like LexisNexis and Equifax, to which they obtained access through fake collection agencies they had opened as part of the scheme. Sometimes, the conspirators negotiated checks by laundering them in bulk through accounts which appeared to belong to legitimate businesses, such as one in the name “Signature Tax Collections.”

The illegal conduct ended only when agents of the U.S. Secret Service confronted Nida and seized his laptop computer, pursuant to a search warrant, on September 13, 2013.

Assistant United States Attorney Alana R. Black is prosecuting the case.

This case is being investigated by the United States Secret Service and the Georgia Governor’s Office of Consumer Protection.

At least he held himself accountable. I saw this coming. Sucks for the other women he used during this as well. I bet Phadrea feels like chit all that lying she has done from when her first baby was due to marrying for lust. He prob plead guilty because he used her attorney log in and didn’t want her to be caught up as well. She saved Bobby Brown but couldn’t save her fine hubby.

Somewhere Kenya is taking $10 to put on his future books. She will be at the sperm bank but he will be giving sperm in his cell.

Apollo Knew to take that Plea. He dont wanna battle the FEDS and show blatant disregard; He sure would be under the Prison for 15+ yrs

Blanche Devereaux

I knew this would happen…

pointhimout

Good. You can’t be a career criminal looking down on others or acting like you worked your ass off to get all you have. How much you want to bet Phaedra has the assets tied to her only so that nothing is taken or go towards restitution? He should get at least 10 years and obligated to pay the money back. If not, he should get about 15-20 years. Clearly, Phaedra will move on after about 2 years, so she’s a shoe in for RHOA cuz her storyline is evolving right before our eyes. Now if she’s somehow tied to all of this, similar to Teresa Guidice, ….

I knew it….I feel bad for the kids. But Pha-Pha new. “Good Girls” always love those “Bad Boys” (myself included, but I’m working on that). No more bands @ KOD’s….

Oh wow and I have no doubt Phaedra knew exactly what was going on. Smh

Phaedra should have heeded my warnings about charming narcissists. they marry you for your money and power. Then they use you for your connections. It’s all right here in the link >> http://sandrarose.com/?p=15572

There is no way Phadera did not know. Your husband has not a job in the first. But yet in still he has thousands to trick off at the strip club at will. He stay with cars and Gucci, but you never ask him where the funds are coming from? Phaedra your money is not that long. This we know. If it was, you would not be on the show. I really hope they see how Phasers was in on it. But wait, she has some nerve turning her nose up at Kenya. Your with that career criminal. Who will soon be someone bytch. So while Kenya so can’t get a husband, who in hell wants one like yours!? A cheat, and a record. Yes, how lovely. Phaedra let’s face it, your no southern belle, your husband is a soon to be locked up hoe bag, your not that cute, and your two seconds from getting caught up yo damn self. Your life may look better, but it is a tragic mess boo. Let’s hope you can get congical visits. I mean that’s what you married him for right? What else did he have to offer?!

Aint no way Phadera didn’t know something! I don’t care if she ad 75 jobs…her husband!?! COME ON

http://thegameonbetblog.tumblr.com/ Bird

Uh oh. It’s sounding like hi chirren gonna be grown by the time he gets out of jail. I suspect Phaedra will be filing for divorce any day now.

A.J.

at the photoshopped jail bird cage! Thanks Sandra!!

Nakeya you dead ass on too!

Apollo will get twice the prison time Gayla St. Julien received because he is a repeat offender who was still on probation.

damn he had like 15 scams going on i thought u just do one to the best of your ability lol

http://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

Apollo is a classic example of a charming sociopath. Narcissists believe they are entitled to take what doesn’t belong to them because it was meant for them to have it. That’s how they mentally process stealing. They have a very warped sense of entitlement.

I vote *snickers* that you call them, and go in for an interview anyway

http://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

Narcissists don’t use guns to rob banks, they rob banks from the inside by using their good looks to charm female bank tellers. All of Apollo’s female conspirators will eventually do prison time; from the bank tellers who helped him obtain fraudulent car loans to the postal workers who sold him gov’t checks. All are gullible females who fell for his charms.

Nakeya_J or Keke thanks to Unshake

@DTTS oh I was. Lol. I’m calling in the morning

San ah make ya dance

See that’s why I cant steal. All those steps

San ah make ya dance

Really don’t matter if Phaedra knew or not IMO. The real problem is 2 lil boys will be without a father and I hope she his a$$ quick and move on. Don’t shed nan tear

sassyshe

Ill be surprised if he gets more than 5 years then again I doubt bravo will cough up the 20 mil the feds require to make you do only 1 year for your crime (like what a certain label did for a fob). Wonder how long before phaedra she will hang in for at least 1 year cause that will be her storyline

San ah make ya dance

Oh and everyone participated willing. I will not act like that lady a victim just only victims are the ones whose identity got stolen.

Nakeya_J or Keke thanks to Unshake

@San I feel like it matters because she is just as guilty. She was stealing and jacking up peoples credit as well. Its not right. Who are you to do that to people, and still think your so above people!? Y’all have two babies and had no cares about them if y’all went to jail. Its a damn shame.

San ah make ya dance

@Nakeya I just cant sit and say that. I would think she would have been involved in bs before this and got caught up. That nig tho yep go to jail. I know people personally that do bs but no sir you choosing, not me

San ah make ya dance

I think people may want to see her go down more on what she protrays then actual involvement. We’ll see tho, every rooster has its day

Nakeya_J or Keke thanks to Unshake

@San true. Very true.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPIs6REdG2Q datsmdubya2u

of course he went back to his old ways…he had too much pride to take a regular job (even if some legit biz would hire him..heck my local mcdonalds won’t hire someone with a record unless its 5 years old) I don’t know what folk expected him to do..

San ah make ya dance

Meh. He’ll probably get about 5 years, serve what 3.5 or 4. . Phaedra’s a curious character, lol. Looking down on Kenya for being single with fertility issues. I bet Kenya wouldn’t trade places with Phaedra and what she’s going through with her HUSBAND for a million bucks…

I never understood why she always made a point to say Kenya didn’t have a husband. Now she see what settling gets you; a repeat offender.

He said he was Kenya storyline… uhhh ohhhh what she gonna do now?

You know what Sandra, I have to give you props. I always thought you were when it came to the topic of narcism. Just read over your link just for kicks. Over the weekend a relative made one of the dumbest statements I have ever heard on how she interacts with her exes and their mates. She was so proud of herself for trying to be the center of attention. Everyone has always associated her with having a dark and unusual personality or just point blank crazy. If you are on a date or spending private time she will blow the hail up out of your phone but don’t want nothing. When I thought of that personality trait I would think of someone who has accomplished something, never thought it could be a regular joe. I just never made the connection.

I am sick of Willow I am sure she will morph into a beautiful well-adjusted adult and be much better off than some of you all’s (not mine they perfect ) kids but right now she makes my left titty itch with all of her faux intellectual statements, fake British accent and attempts at being sexy. I blame her purents.

Oh yea and with all of those cameras rolling Bravo had to suspect something. Let’s be honest Apollo is not that bright. He has been caught twice in 10 years bruh. This ain’t for you. And as far as him doing this to keep up with Phae cut that ish out. You knew the day she visited you on bringing your THOT to prison day that were you unequally yoked. She knew it too. Now I don’t think Phae was a master mind behind all of this but I definitely think she knew and that is why she was so uptight and mad. She was probably like this dumb fool about to get us caught. The love of money will make us do crazy stuff. But to be honest he probably wasn’t really contributing all that much. I think she will be just fine. Financially. Not emotionally. Poor kids.

San ah make ya dance

@Mistaken, I dmn near think she will be fine emotionally too. That lady aint never broke a sweat or tear on the show. I think she was wore out with his yella as$

At the reunion, it was evident that there is some major friction between the two…it’ll be interesting to see if they remain married or if she will divorce him…

I’ll also be interesting to see how this goes down next season on the show.

SummerBaby

I think it was good for him to plead guilty. The Feds ain’t no joke! Good luck to their babies.

@San: I think emotionally it will have more to do with her pride But yea poor kids. If Kenya tries to keep taunting Phaedra about this she is just trash in my opinion. Her and Phaedra have both gone back and forth about a lot but at this point she needs to shut her mouth and let it ride. She might catch a real beat down saying something about this one. And Andy Cohen should check her if she keeps it up. Isn’t that bullying? Isn’t she all about empowering and uplift?

spiceykay

Good morning everyone.

Normally I would agree that you shouldn’t hit people below the belt talking about fertility issues because I have a couple of friends that have some issues with that but Kenya hits everyone else below the belt so she can’t get mad when someone does the same to her. Even if Phaedra did have a part at least he is taking the blame to make sure his kids are ok. Everybody knows that you should protect your wife because the FOB did it for his wife.

You right And yes I believe this is one of the main causes of bullying in HS that leave kids writing notes, but let Kenya tell it, she isn’t. Just fighting with words. Phaedra already told her she should have been handled her. Just leave each other alone.

————————— I think at LEAST in that respect her loves her as the woman who gave him his two sons. For his sake I hope he isn’t gone for over 5 years. That’s a lot of time to miss And I say F Kenya. She stayed talking about Apollo being a felon, Phaedra and Kandi being fat, Porsha being a beard, Kordell being gay, Nene not having a real career or money, Cynthia being lame… The list goes on and on. They all throw shade but her shade is not in fun. It is all calculated and mean spirit for her to come up and look good. Funny the same people she is trashing are the ones she wants to ultimately emulate. She is on RHOA—Nene…. On Apprentice…. Nene… She said she wants to do dancing with the stars… Nene

I just watched the reunion last night. Boy Phaedra laid into her azz. After that reunion, Kenya doesn’t want it with Phae Phae. When she said Kenya was sleeping with Christopher Williams and that was the real reason she was upset I hit the floor. That’s what I call without throwing a punch

@San: It’s just STOOPID. Off Phaedra’s money alone they were good. If he had chilled and worked with her on opening up the mortuaries that could have turned into a lucrative business! He could have been the business manager of them…VP…Anything. Just ridiculous… He’s rather steak and go to the strip club. As much as I liked him getting Kenya together he is an idiot box

@VDot: I totally forgot about that comment she made about sleeping with Christopher Williams.. Funny how that go left out of the story line She was talking about Chuck, Kandi and Phaedra being awkward and weird hanging in front of his wife and yet she was CW. She probably was mad he married his concubine and that’s why she was throwing shade that they weren’t married. She got skipped over. AGAIN.

this. she can’t wait until that stupid azz punk-to-be-AGAIN reports to jail. and kenya is gonna HAVE to put money on his books cause i don’t think phae is gonna give his azz a dime.

i think kenya and apollonia were fugging something awful because they stay in each other’s mouths. he was shading kenya but used up his whole time on her. phae is the kind of woman who would not spend all that time on kenya if there weren’t some truth to the rumors and innuendo.

when phae went there about kenya and using a sperm bank, many couples have to do this and phae is blessed to have two children but it didn’t sit well with me at all. she is a shady lil “christian” bytch and her time will come.
